Fourth graders, who generally study the State of New Jersey and all levels of government, are invited to design a poster for the contest. For future reference some of the rules are as follows:

• The poster must be on standard 22″ x 28″ poster board
• The name, “Union County”, must be in 4-inch letters formed at the top of the poster
• The student’s name, homeroom teacher and school must be printed neatly in the lower right hand corner on the back of the poster

The design and content of the poster are at the discretion of the student, although the theme of the poster must center on Union County.  Special knowledge or background is not needed. (A general guideline here would be to depict that which makes a particular county unique.)

There are twelve winning posters that will be published in an annual Union County poster calendar  Submission of the posters grants the Constitutional Officers Association permission to display them in public places.
